I also got a letter in the mail from Alliance Financial and Trust stating the same thing. I called the number and talked to a gentleman from another country and he told me it was legit and to cash the check and call him back to set up a time for him to have Fed-Ex send me the rest of the money. I must tell you that I'm not the kind of person to beleive anything like this. I ALWAYS assume there is a catch but the guy said there wasn't. I still wasn't conviced so I went to my bank and they told me it was bogus and called the bank on the check, they had no account with that institution. I must say I was overly excited that I won but then crushed that someone could do this and get away with it. I still plan on calling them back and telling them I cashed the check to see what they say. Read the letter carefully where they say to be paid either by Western Union or Money Gram "directly to the tax agent." Be careful. John
